Curved Surface Area/Lateral Surface Area
Curved surface area, except its center, corresponds to the area of only the curved portion of the shape (s). For shapes such as a cone, it is often called the lateral surface area. The Lateral Surface Area can be defined as “the area which includes only the curved surface area of an object or lateral surface area of an object by excluding the base area of an object”. The Lateral Surface Area is also known as the Curved Surface Area.
Most of the Shapes or Objects refer to the curved surface area, the shape or object-like cylinder refers to it as a lateral surface area. In simple, “The area which is visible to us is called a lateral surface area”. For example, consider the cylinder as shown in the below figure.
Surface Areas and Volumes
Three dimensions can be measured, length, width, and height, for any object that you can see or touch. There are certain dimensions of our home that we live in. The rectangular display screen/Monitor you’re looking at has a width and breadth of its length. For every three-dimensional geometrical structure, surface area and volume are measured.
Aera covered by the object’s surface is the surface area of any given object. Whereas the quantity of space available in an object is volume.
